Klondike Kids Club is a safe and nurturing after school homework club. This is collaboration between First United Methodist Church of West Lafayette, Klondike Elementary School and Point West Mobile Home Community. Participating volunteers provide tutoring in reading, language arts, and math for children for whom English is a second language.
Klondike Kids Club meets Monday through Thursday from 4:30 to 6:00. It follows the Tippecanoe School Corporation calendar. On Monday’s and Wednesday’s, grades 4-5 meet, and on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, grades K-3 meet. If school is canceled, so is Kids Club.
Volunteers aged 16 years and over are welcome, as are adults of any age. A background check is provided at no cost to volunteers. What are the qualifications for a volunteer? An open heart, a willingness to spread kindness, the ability to read, and a basic knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Without volunteers, there is no Klondike Kids Club.
